Filming

Day 1 - 01/03/11:

Today the group started the first day of filming. The group met at our actor Jordans House, where we would film the first shots. The first thing we shot was Jordan waking up to his alarm, we got a close-up shot of his alarm going off. We also got the neccessary shots of him getting ready. Once we had done this we went and filmed the shots of Jordan missing the train and where he got the drink spilt on his top. We had a few Shots of Saira done today, the ones that mainly involved Jordan in the scene. We focused most of our filming on Jordan today.

Things that went well:
- Got alot of different camera angles
- Made a lot of progress towards getting quite a lot of scenes done.

Things that didnt go so well:
- When looking back at the footage, team members were also in the shots
- Actors kept looking at the camera

Day 2 - 04/03/11:

Today we spent more time on filming the scenes where Saira and Jordan Finally meet. This was film in Hyde Park in London. There was the scene where they meet at the fountain and the different shots of them at the Cafe and having a water fight.

Things that went well:
- The weather was good which set the mood for our romantic comedy.
- We were able to get all of saira and jordans scenes together done

Things that didn't go so well:
- There was dark lighting in one of the shots which we didnt realise at the time, this may need to be re-done or cut out of the film.
- There were a few mise en scene mistakes

Feedback from filming
We showed the footage we had filmed on days 1 & 2  to our media teacher, who fedback that the footage we had didnt seem to fit the story it was supposed to tell. He also thought that we could re-do a few of the handle held shots as they werent steady and instead use the tripod as well as including more close-up shots to furthur reflect the emotions of the characters.

Day 3 - 10/03/11
Today we went and filmed the morning scene with jordan again, from the feedback received from our media teacher we used to tripod to film the front door scene so that we had a good steady shot. We wanted to film this scene again as we wanted to make jordan look as if he was in a rush and late as it wasnt quite clear in the first set of footage.

Things that went well:
- The acting was more convincing and portrayed the right situation.
- The film will hopefully make more sense now we have filmed the new footage.

Things that didnt go so well:
- We had to re-film a scene as he was wearing the wrong t-shirt.
